MATCH THREAD: BOLTON WANDERERS v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Decent start by City

Looks like ref same as all rest giving foul against Salech

Did we get Turnbull from the Cardiff blues as every pass is backwards

Referee is giving a lot of soft free kicks to both teams.

A decent start for the Bluebirds, who are pressing well

Looks like a more than decent crowd, but the Bluebirds faithful are the more vocal of the two supporter sets!

LATEST SCORE: BOLTON WANDERERS 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (17 mins)

Playing a controlled game... no pressure on city at moment.

Why are we reluctant to cross the ball into the box for the striker

Turnbull just missed a sitter

What a delivery Bagan!

Acres of room on our left!

Good move and battling from the Bluebirds, as Rubin Colwill sees a shot blocked

Game a little more even, but we’re having opportunities to attack and Turnbull misses a decent opportunity with a free header. that goes well wide of the Bolton goal

He must be fined if he passes the ball forward. Great when we’re protecting a lead, not great when he slows down every single attack.

Play upto their area is really good but that final ball is very poor and nothing created ... shooting is powder puff effort
.its a shame we are impressive going forward.

Great attack from the Bluebirds, as they streak down the right hand side. The resulting cross causes confusion and Turnbull is a little unlucky. The Bolton keeper then has to make a smart intervention

The errors are in there, and it’s making to game a little more open than expected

LATEST SCORE: BOLTON WANDERERS 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (30 mins)

So far we seem to be running out of ideas once we get near their box, we need to make the breakthrough sooner rather than later.

Colwill getting a lot more space than I’d expected needs to do something with the ball.

Fish and lawlor have touched the ball more than anyone so far although fish thinks he's Zidane pinging balls across the pitch although he's yet to find anyone other than a white shirt

This game we should win Bolton are nothing special so far although the chances to cross we always have to do extra passes and touches then a shit cross goes in or we turn backwards with 30 yards of ope. Space Infront of our player . Either goalkeeper yet to make a save. Boring stuff so far

Bolton go close and should really have taken advantage, after another very poor Bluebird midfield pass is intercepted and moved forward with speed

Unforced errors in passing at critical moments is our Achilles Heel

Very scrappy game with lots of individual errors

Not found it ‘boring’, but your other points are valid!

Colwill needs to step it up, been off the game so far.

A touching tribute from all in the ground in memory of one of Bolton’s own, who passed away at the age of 39

Well done everyone! That’s proper respect!

BBM has got this team very good with the ball and I am loving this.

If he had some real attacking talent, players with really good vision and penetration then we could go really far.

Need some end product and smarter passes and we’d score more goals for sure.

Ng gets himself booked.

We’re causing our own issues again, here! Rubin thinks he’s Pele on times, which can be great, but not on the edge of our own box!

Others were culpable in the moment, but now and then we simply have to clear it quick!

A first-half that produced little of quality up front, but we are showing signs that we have the players to take advantage

HALF-TIME SCORE: BOLTON WANDERERS 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (45+1 mins)

Rubin been awful, wasteful everytime he's got the ball.

Game hasn't really got going yet.

0-0 at half time is about right.

Not ideal having Ng on a yellow, they could target him and he does sometimes make rash decisions.

An enjoyable first half , we started well I thought last 10 mins we were under a bit of pressure.
Think the refs having a decent game definitely we having the majority of the decisions.

A fairly equal half.

Someone needs to get closer to Salech to help with the battle/feed off the scraps; Rubin isnt that man.

We come alive in the 2nd half.

This is getting ridiculous. I am all for giving them confidence, but someone has hypnotised them to think they are world-class. They are trying shit Ronaldo and Messi would struggle with. Our ex-academy kids all hold onto the ball too long!
